Trying to disguise the Virtavia - Alphasim RF-4C as a US Marine RF-4B! 
It can almost be done but for some un-disguisable items that will have to be, shall we say, forgiven? All of the formation lights are mirrored but the ones on the fuselage can be dealt with OK. The wing tip and vertical tail lights are the problem because of the prominent tail codes, and the gray top-white bottom wing tips as you can in the screen shot. There are also some unusual texture mapping situations that don't lend themselves to a gray airplane. For instance where the splitter plates join the intakes is a Black vertical bar. If I make it white (or gray) the interior canopy frame becomes white (or gray) also!
Unfortunately I didn't discover these little tidbits until way late in the upgrade process. I'm going to finish what I started but it won't be as good a disguise as I had hoped. Without these little annoyances the main external visual give away would have been the nose gear door with two square shaped taxi lights (instead of a single round one) and no ID lights.
Anyway, plodding along with this VMCJ-2 bird then back for a few more Bs and Js.
